Little Car,

Big Destinations

Design Brief For this design brief, we were tasked to research car’s, pick a favourite then trace over it in Adobe Illustrator, making it look as realistic as possible before turning it into a car ad.
My Approach When looking for what type of car, I knew that I wanted to do something old, like a Chevy Impala, or a Hudson Hornet. Eventually I chose a personal favourite, the Volkswagen Beetle.
Technique When creating the car, I had to get the image into Adobe Illustrator then use the pen tool to outline all the little details. I then add colour to the shapes, using gradients to make it all look real, as well as duplicate objects to get the desired shapes. I then transferred it over to Adobe Photoshop and created an advertisement.

When deciding which car I wanted to do for this assessment, I had a list of car’s that figured people may recognise from other places, such as the Mystery Machine of a 1967 Chevy Impala from the show Supernatural. Ultimately I decided to go with a Volkswagen Beetle. A small and friendly car that I thought everyone would love.
